Oh Uncle Butch, how we will miss your teasing, your laugh, you sure could light up a room. I’m glad Brian was able to see numerous Outlaw Sprint races w you. Sure had a great time.
Give everyone a hug, let Gma and GPA know we miss and love them. Until we meet again.
Love always Cindy?❤
I am so sorry to hear this. I think I went to grade school with him at Harding in E.St.Lous.?
I was totally shocked to hear that Butch had passed away, I feel that he was an older brother to me. I know that I was only a small part of his life , and spent very little time with him, but he made a huge impact on my life. My heart is very heavy at this time, and I will mess you very much. Rest In Peace Butch.
We will miss you Cousin Butch, Marilyn and Carolyn
